Communication models provide a way to understand and
visualize the complex process of communication.
Types of Communication Model
There are three general types of communication models
in which all other communication models are mostly
categorized
1) Linear Model of Communication: LMC is a
simple one way communication model. The
message flows in a straight line from sender to the
receiver. There is no concept of feedback. The only
task that a receiver does here is to receive the
message.
2) Transactional Model of Communication
In TMC senders and receivers both are known as
communicators and both play equally important role in
communication. Transactional model relates
communication with social reality, cultural up-bringing
and relational context (relationships). Non-verbal
feedback like gestures, body language, is also
considered as feedback in this model.
3) Interactive Model of Communication
IMC or convergence model is similar to
transactional model as they are both two way
communication model. But, interactive model is
mostly used for new media like internet. Here,
people can respond to any mass communications
like videos, news, etc. People can exchange their
views and ideas.

Computer Mediated Communication
CMC is defined as any human communication
that occurs through the use of two or more
electonic devices, While the term has
traditionally referred to those communications
that occur via computer mediated formats
(e.g., instant messaging, email, chatrooms,
online forum and social network service) it has
also been applied to other forms of text based
interaction such as text messaging. Research
on CMC focuses largely on the social effects of
different computer supported communication
technologies.
Communication Technology
Careers in communication technology
require the knowledge to operate, maintain,
and upgrade communications equipment.
Individuals within the computer technology
field must have an understanding of
wireless technologies, mechanical
operations, computer applications, and
problem solving.
Skills and Abilities
Graduates entering the communication
technology field need to develop
engineering and computer science skills.
The ability to communicate allows
professionals to understand and explain
problems that arise within this technology.
Individuals also need to have skills in
business, critical thinking, and as a strong
knowledge of computer programming.
FIVE COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY
1) TECHNOLOGY TRENDS AND
EXPECTATIONS
Network enhancements will come from the
development of increasingly powerful
computing devices, many of which are
especially designed for network
applications, as well as from improvements
in the methods for transmitting information
from point to point and from the
development of new network configurations
and new ways of linking networks together.
2) Global Connectivity
One way to characterize what is happening
in telecommunications is to say that the
degree to which people everywhere are
connected, or could be connected, to other
people and to information resources of all
kinds, independently of location, is rapidly
increasing. The National Research Council's
Computer Science and Technology Board
has recently called for the development of
an integrated national computer network
system that would permit communication
between any two computers in the country.
3) Implications for Energy and Resource
Consumption
As we make greater use of electronic means
of distributing information that has
traditionally been distributed by newspapers,
magazines, journals, and books, there could
be a decrease in the need for and use of
paper. This would be a desirable consequence
from an environmental point of view, as it
would reduce natural resource use, energy
use, and waste production Whether increased
use of electronic publishing will in fact
decrease the demand for paper remains to be
seen.
4) Human factors Issues
Human factors considerations pertaining to
communications and telenetworking are
important, in part, because eventually
nearly everyone is likely to be a user of this
technology. Many people will use it in their
work, some in relatively traditional work
settings and others in radically different
contexts. Simply by making all types of
information more generally accessible,
computer networks greatly increase the
possibility of doing "office work" in places
other than traditional centralized offices.
5) Person-to-Person Communication
In the past, human factors researchers gave
more attention to person computer
communication than to computer mediated
communication between and among people.
This is not surprising, as the facilitation of
interpersonal communication was not seen
as a primary application of computer
technology until fairly recently. With the
development and rapid growth of computer
networks, however, it has become apparent
that facilitating communication between and
among people is one of the most powerful
applications that this technology can have.
